I've got a reputation of being a man with a gift of wordsa romantic poetic type or so they saybut I find it hard to express the way I feel about youwithout getting involved with the old cliches.

In the old cliches, it's the old cliches.

This song's begun so many times but neverin a way that you wont consider to be an old cliche.I want to say that I need you, I miss you when you're away.And how it seemed like fate - o here we go - the same old cliches.

It's the same old cliches.

It's not that I'm embarrassed or shy, well, you know me too wellbut I want to make this song special in a way that you can tell.That it's solely for you and nobody elsefor my best friend, my lover, when I need help - cliche - cliche?Everything I want to say to you is wrapped up in an old clicheI'd waited so long to find you, I'd been through the heartbreak and pain,but of course you already know that cos you've been throught the same.That's why I'm trying to say with my deepest sinceritythat's why I'm finding it comes down to the basic simplicitiesthe best way is with an old clicheit's simply the best way is with an old clichealways the best way is with an old clicheI'll leave it to the best way, it's an old clicheI love you.
